    Can you pass the acid test?


    Comes the call
    Chisled on each prankster eyeball
    in lincoln gothic
    As we moan
    In this graveyard among moonstone tombstones
    with a philisophic
    Its you ass--
    Can you pass the acid test?

    Babbs and Kesey swaying
    In a California graveyard, baying
    deep
    In the synch
    Zonked on LSD on the brink
    freaking steep
    Of a missionary quest:
    Can you pass the acid test

    Tombstones!
    Vaults, coffins and bald carbon-dated bones
    a dream transfusion
    From the community breast:
    Can you pass the acid test?

    The group mind
    Flying high, Major, but not blind
    in the moonshine
    Was inspired
    With the ceremony that would be required
    in the moon shot
    To extend
    The prankster messege to the ends
    Of the earth. A mindfest:
    a moon ship

    THE ACID TEST. . . .

    by the Pranksters

    Peace&Love

    nice poem, great wordplay and imagery. reminds me of one of mine that's of the exact same theme... One of my friends bands is coincidentally called The Acid Test as well....

    thanks for sharing this!
